Without Luthien in his sight, Senior returned to his cool appearance.
Facing Abel's affirmative inquiry, he first lit a cigarette for himself, and then threw the remaining half pack to Abel.
Just looking at the movements of smoking, the two figures, one large and one small, are almost identical.
If Luthien saw it, she would definitely no longer doubt Senior's explanation.
After a long time, until he finished smoking a cigarette, Senior finally spoke slowly: "Her name is Lucien..."
Abel listened quietly to his story without saying a word, listening to Senior's truest thoughts as well as his inner anxiety and uneasiness.
Although Abel had already predicted this result.
But this was the first time that he saw this man being attracted to a woman.
Don't underestimate Señor's charm, this guy can attract a bunch of women wherever he goes.
But Senior always spoke without pretense, as if no woman, no matter how beautiful, had any attraction to him.
So much so that people within the family often tease him about this kind of thing.
But such a man, now worried about gains and losses because of a woman, was hesitant, which really left Abel speechless.
Maybe this is the power of love.
"So what are you going to do? Just keep putting it off like this? Neither express your feelings nor return to the family?"
Senior hesitated for a moment, then lit another cigarette for himself irritably, "I haven't figured out what to do yet. Give me some time. I'll go back after I've taken care of things here."
Abel looked at him seriously and said, "I don't think you should be so hesitant. This is not like the Pique I know."
"Then what do you think I should do? Just give up?"
"No, you should be bold and chase her. Believe me, I can tell that the look in the woman named Luthien's eyes when she looks at you is different from when she faces other people."
"Really?!"
When Senior heard this, he became so excited that he even dropped the cigarette in his mouth to the ground. He grabbed Abel's shoulders and looked very nervous, as if he was afraid that Abel was lying to him.
Abel nodded, "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. She should also have some affection for you, at least she doesn't hate you. This is undoubtedly a good start."
Senior giggled twice, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and he became worried again, "But my identity... what she hates most is pirates. If she knows that I am not a bank employee, I have been lying to her all this time, she will never forgive me, let alone be with me."
Abel suddenly frowned. Indeed, this was a very serious problem.
Even if Senior could deceive the other party for a while, how could he keep this kind of thing hidden for a lifetime?
Unless he leaves the family now and returns to an ordinary life.
But is that possible?
Putting aside whether Senor is willing or not, he just can't pass Doflamingo's test!
You know, Doflamingo hates traitors the most!
And Senior's decision to leave the family for a woman is undoubtedly the greatest betrayal!
By then, let alone the two of them getting married and living a good life, in less than two days, the family will send cadres to clean up the traitors, and it is even possible that Doflamingo will come in person.
In this case, both of them are doomed, and neither of them will survive.
Thinking of this, Abel finally understood why Senor was so entangled and still hadn't told Doflamingo the truth.
"It's indeed a bit tricky..."
Abel also became irritable, and the two of them just leaned against the wall, smoking cigarettes one after another, silently thinking of solutions.
"Maybe we can think differently."
I don’t know how long it took, but Abel came up with a solution that was not a solution.
"What idea?"
Senior was also ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry, even ignoring the fact that Abel was just a child.
In other words, except for Abel, there is no one else who can help him with advice on this matter.
"First of all, you can no longer hide Luthien's existence. You must take the initiative to tell the family."
"But..."
"I understand your concerns, but unless you can stop seeing that woman and be just a stranger from now on. Can you do it?"
Senior gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Since you can't do that, then Luthien's existence will be known to the family sooner or later. Rather than being investigated by them in the future, it's better for you to confess."
"Believe me, for such a trivial matter as falling in love with a woman, no one, including Captain Dover, will stop you. They may even give you a long vacation."
"Of course, the premise is that you will not betray and leave the family. Can you understand?"
Senior nodded slightly. He did consider the possibility of leaving the family for a moment, but he gave up immediately because he also thought about the consequences of leaving the family.
No matter for himself or for Luthien, he must not do this!
"Very good. After eliminating the resistance from the family, the only thing we have to deal with is Luthien. Do you feel that things are a little simpler?"
"No, I think that's the hardest part."
"Okay, you're right. But it's not completely impossible."
"Say it!"
Senior was already a little anxious.
"What you want to do now is to realize all the lies you told?"
"What? What is this method called? Wait, you mean..."
"That's right, if you have never deceived her from the beginning and just concealed some things. Then even in the end, if she finds out, you will have room for maneuver, and you will not be directly sentenced to death. '. Do you understand now?"
Abel seemed very confident.
Senior, on the other hand, kept chewing on what he said until his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Seeing Senior suddenly running outside in a hurry, Abel quickly chased after him.
"bank!"
"ha?"
"You're right, in order for Lucien to fall in love with me, I must first be a bank clerk, a real bank clerk!"
Seeing that Senior finally got the idea, Abel couldn't help but smile with relief, but...
"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry, right? I came all the way to find you and even helped you make plans to chase women. Why don't you treat me to a meal?"
"Definitely next time! If it's any later, the bank will be closed soon. I have to deal with the people there today!"
"..."
Abel watched speechlessly as Senior's hurried figure disappeared in front of him, and couldn't help but curse a few words: "You are a guy of the opposite sex and inhumane!"
But after scolding him, he still couldn't help but feel worried for this guy.
After all, in the original work, the ending between Senior and the woman named Luthien was very sad.
He just hopes that this time there will be a good happy ending.
